Oh well, I'll get over it. It's only first week sales and then when second week sales come around no one will give a s**t, and then before you know it Doll Domination will have gone DIAMOND

I am SO disappointed with their first week sales. They really should of... a) moved up the release date of their album to when WIGU was peaking b) or release WIGU to radio later than they did
They did way too much promo before summer and everything just fizzled out. I'm sure they could of topped 200k with better promo. Now all they can hope for is consistency.

I'm really loving WTAT (Darkchild remix)! Can't stop listening to it. And as far as sales go, I think they'll be fine. At least they have great potentisl singles! TEAM PCD! Everyone join me! TEAM PCD!

I don't see this album reaching 500k in the US. Ok, let's not go that far, they are dissapointing sales, but PCD debuted at 99K and ended up selling 2.8 million.

Wow, 70k? I was expecting them to debut with at least 200k, so that's pretty disappointing.

Because of huge singles, which i don't hear on this album...sorry. I don't think they will have another hit this era.

I don't hear the hit songs like they had on the PCD album. It also started off slow because of the release of Don't Cha(#2) months before just like this album with When I Grow Up. The only thing is PCD had Beep(#13), Stickwitu(#5), Buttons(#3) and Wait a Minute (#28)to fall back on as well (the #s in parenthesis are Hot 100 Peaks).

Pussycat DollsDoll Domination by Sal Cinquemani Posted: September 22, 2008 The Pussycat Dolls captured the celebrity-obsessed zeitgeist with "When I Grow Up," the lead single from their second album, Doll Domination. It's another instantly catchy, full-throttle club track from producer Rodney Jerkins and a perfectly concocted blend of camp and vamp for the famous burlesque troupe. Like the Dolls's debut, PCD, the new album could use a little more of that cabaret style and a little less of the anonymous, by-the-numbers R&B and dance formulas that have become the modern girl-group convention. Courtesy of R. Kelly, "Out of This Club" features some bottom-notch songwriting comprised mostly of rudimentary piano melodies and slang like "conversate," while second single "Whatcha Think About That" is pure filler despite the presence of Missy Elliott on the mic (she gets three different verses!) and Polow da Don on the boards. International single "I Hate This Part" would have made a better follow-up, dousing the campfire of "When I Grow Up" with its more adult sound the way "Stickwitu" did following "Don't Cha" in 2005. The song adds Danish production duo Jonas Jeberg and Cutfather to an alarmingly growing list of current hitmakers who keep recycling the same drum loops and formulas ad nauseam; the difference this time is that the songwriting is strong enough to forgive whatever similarities the song has to Kylie Minogue's "All I See" and Jordin Sparks's "One Step at a Time." Other pardonable repeat offenders on Doll Domination include Ne-Yo and Shea Taylor, whose lyrically and musically simple "Happily Never After" is perfectly tailored to lead Pussycat Nicole Scherzinger's limited vocal ability (it was originally slated for the singer's indefinitely shelved solo debut), and Timbaland, whose "Halo" is yet another in a long line of "Cry Me a River" rewrites but whose "Magic" possesses all of the throb and buzz you expect from both parties. After the inexplicable "failure" of Nicole's solo album ("Whatever U Like"—though a blatant rip-off of Kelis's "Blindfold Me," also produced by Polow da Don—was unjustly ignored), it was smart to spotlight the, uh, talents of the other pussycats this go 'round. Nicole leads the pack on most of Doll Domination's tunes, but each member gets a solo song on the Deluxe Edition's second disc. Melody Thornton, recognized as the group's best vocalist, confirms "best" is still a relative term on the melisma-plagued "Space." The only worthy solo entry is Kimberley Wyatt's faithful-right-down-to-the-backing-track cover of Jane Child's "Don't Wanna Fall In Love," proof that, once again, when it comes to 21st-century girl-groups, production is the real star.

I thought they would sell more. The album might not be as good as PCD, but some songs are good. But if they are going to choose singles like whatcha think about that well then...that won't help sales at all.

I am so glad somebody finally called out Jonas Jeberg and Cutfather. I've been saying that comparison for awhile now.

This is a mediocre album at best IMO, but I think it should have sold more than it's projected to.

"When I grow up" isnt nearly as big as "dont cha" and "whatcha think about that" is a flop. they will be lucky to do 500k total with this album.

This is my main problem with the album as well. Most of the songs on this album dont give them a distinct style they are just sounding like run of the mill r&b chicks.

This album has hits but unfortunately the 2nd single is a dumb choice and its going to kill their momentum. They also waited too long to release a 2nd single as well. They should have gone with "Elevator" or "I hate this part" as the 2nd single. It would have given them the "stickwitu" repeat of the debut and then gone with "bottle bop" and "takin over the world" which would have given them their "beep" and "buttons." "Bottle pop" is "buttons" tp the 3rd power. that song is insane! Luckily for them they seem to have the full support of their label so hopefully they can recover from the disaster of their 2nd single.

This project was so mishandeld its not even funny. The timing was WAY off and now it's going to cost them alot of money. One good thing is, they have label support.

"Bottle pop" is #70 on Itunes. They need to take the hint.

I don't hear the hit songs like they had on the PCD album. !! This album will be a much harder sell than PCD and they've already gotten off on the wrong foot with the 2nd single.

The difference is that DK had 2 singles & PCD had 6. So that kinda evens it out/ 6/2=3. DK=1 mill. PCD=3 mill. 1x3=3. So that's kinda proportionaling it out.

^^ First off, PCD only had 5 singles in America. DK sucks and PCD will tear them to pieces vocally and dancing wise.
